WEST PALM BEACH, FL, January 13, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Coming off a successful U.S. expansion with 66 new territories launched in 2025, Exit Factor®, the award-winning, leading franchise in business value enhancement and exit planning, is entering the new year with plans to expand into new international markets.

As the company celebrates completing its recent entrance into the United Kingdom, plans for 2026 include targeting full master franchisees in New Zealand, Canadian Provinces, Ireland and the Netherlands. Individual franchise owners are being sought in Australia.

"With all the success from last year, we are building on that momentum as we look to expand our international reach in new countries," said Jessica Fialkovich, founder and president of Exit Factor. "We're excited to identify the right franchisees for these opportunities and help small business owners in those regions create the most profitable exit plans for their companies."

Fialkovich's team is ready to secure new franchisees and provide comprehensive support when they launch. The team will also help develop the brand in their respective counties and effectively implement Exit Factor's business valuation and exit planning methodologies.

Exit Factor's comprehensive suite of services includes business valuation, value enhancement strategies, exit planning and succession planning. The company's history of helping entrepreneurs increase the value of their businesses and achieve successful exits has made it a trusted name in the industry. Additionally, as a United Franchise Group brand, Exit Factor clients gain access to the resources and expertise of a global network with four decades of experience in the franchising industry.

Exit Factor is a multi-award-winning brand, recognized last year as Entrepreneur Magazine's 2025 Top New & Emerging Franchises, Inc.'s Best Workplaces 2025, and 2025 Inc. Power Partners. Fialkovich was also nominated for the Peter Christman Exit Planner of the Year by the Exit Planning Institute.
